At the top of the image is the Hitchin Hackspace "H" logo in the centre of a circle. The H is at 45 degrees and the character has a square outline. The words "Hitchin Hackspace", along with the H in the circle, are laser engraved on to an A4 sized sheet of Birch plywood. It should be at the pub, to help identify us, providing one of our members remembers to bring it!π€¦ββοΈ

This coming Tuesday 17th February we're running another Social/Induction evening at the Hackspace. We also plan to fire up the pancake machine so there will be automated pancakes available as well as the usual tea/coffee and biscuits.

A piece of plastic film stuck to the side of a pint glass.
A toothpaste-looking paste applied to the stencil. Probably best not to use this as toothpaste.

Sometimes you can augment old techniques with new equipment.
Member Dan wanted to engrave a pint glass so used the Cricut at the Hackspace to cut out some stencils from some stencil film, then applied glass etching cream.

We won a thing! The Hackspace is quite prominent locally due to our engagement with non-members and things we run like the Repair Cafe. Lots of it is down to fellow Trustee Tim whose superpower is engaging with a bazillion people and organisations to the extent it would boil my brain.

Yesterday I was messing around with an ODrive again. Now I need to write some code to do basic mixing to set the requested motor speeds off the throttle, steering, and brake inputs. We're using a Pi Pico for this to make it easily changeable. May have different profiles set over BLE with a basic app
